The show's ratings reflected the tensions. On Wednesday, it drew 713,000 viewers, ranking it a distant third after Bill O'Reilly's "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News (3.32 million viewers) and "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC (1.04 million), according to The Washington Post.I am sorry to see Kathleen Parker leave Parker/Spitzer CNN Show. I was never a fan of Spitzer's "Cram it down your throat" style of reporting. What ever possessed CNN to put Spitzer, certainly NOT know for his morality and honesty on the show in the first place. I know...RATINGS. I like CNN but will not be watching the new show...there is now absolutely no trust factor.

Parker's fallacious and idiological rantings were tedious. She couldn't deliver the GOP babbling point memos scanned into her Stepford-CPU, without shortcircuiting. Good riddance.

Her body language told the whole story every night;she was a huge distraction for me. Next to her last night's show,Thursday, she was fuming mad and I thought for sure the two must have had a major argument right before the show. All along,since it's inception it was obvious that Spitzer's energy and intelligence far eclipsed Parker's. Many times while watching I wished he was there alone.He's darn good. Frankly, I'm glad she left. It was very unpleasant watching Parker trying to make the best of it. It was a bad match to begin with.

February 26 2011 at 9:31 AM Report abuse Permalink +10 rate up rate down ReplyCNN has plumbed the depths of desperation and poor judgement in hiring Spitzer. He disgraced himself, his family and the office of the govenor. They are getting killed by the other networks and I see nothing ahead but a continuous slide. Having Parker leave the show will not reserect their fortunes.

She sits there like a bump on a log looking bored and uninterested. Her big problem is lack of assertiveness. How could CNN have chosen her for the job when she is sooooooo laid back. Of course the women are crying that Spitzer is hogging the show. They refuse to find fault with one of their own making her out to be a "victim". The truth is she sucked at her job.

"See, Kathleen, they look like they're interested in being there. Watch how they read their lines as if they want the audience to stay tuned and watch the show, not like they're being punished."
I can't look at the man without thinking about how he disgraced his wife his children and the state of New York. I was very dissappointed that he was rewarded with a prominent T.V. program. CNN showed porr judgement here. I've watched during commericial breaks from FOX News and found Ms. Parkers comments much more intelligent than his. Could be beacuse everytime I look at the man I am nauseated. One thing is for sure I have realized since Hilary lost to Pres. Obama that sexism is much more rampant that racisim. She is an award winning journalist he is a filandering obnoxious power hungry egomaniac. He should go not her.

Spitzer had a business deal with a hooker - as gross as that is - he paid for a transaction. we have a former president who took advantage of a dumb, naive intern and people still glorify him. get over yourselves. CNN gave Spitzer a show, the current president brings in the former president any opportunity he can. I can't understand how people are able to rationalize that.

Give it up on the morality issue considering what the GOP's history is with regard to scandals. Just to take Spitzer out of the discussion, US Senator David Vitter R-La. also hired hookers. You know what he got? Well, first no one forced him out of his job and his GOP buddies in the Senate gave him a standing ovation when he returned to the Senate floor.
You have more cheating, druggies and in the closet politicians then the Democratic Party will ever have. Think Gingrich, who left his first two wives for his second two wives; US Senator Ensign R-Nv, US Senator R-La., Congressman Foley R-Fl Congressional sexually harrassing under age male staffers with calls and sextexts and e-mails; Limbaugh (drugs and forging prescriptions and taking sexual countraband (Viagra) into the sex capital of the North American and getting arrested for it (The Dominican Republic ), O'Reilly (sexual harassment and haveing to pay somewhere around $20 million dollars to his victim; Beck (drugs and a history of mental illness; Gov. Sanders with his soul mate bombshell from Argentina just to name a very few.
And I'm not even bringing in conservative ministers who preach morality but have yet to find theirs.
And he had a deal with the voters of the state of New York, too--he prosceuted people for that same gross behavior. Maybe some people forgive and forget but I always thought Bill Clinton was a filthy, rotten liar and he and Spitzer are one and the same! Why anyone would listen to anything that either of them had to say is beyond me---and don't even get me started on the wives who stood by , so sad eyed and forlorn-- their brains, if existent, must be on hormone holiday! Both of them educated lawyers and yet they are total imbeciles! As a matter of fact all four of them are lawyers--just proves that as a lawyer you figure the laws are for the peons--not you!
